I think it is a kind of chain reaction emanating from a damp squib which
tried to be a big bang. A film put on YouTube, showing a nice big explosion
but with no points of reference, or other verifiable information picked up by
the Vets website without corroborating it and then it was picked up and
passed on by someone else, until it almost became an internet truth... J.

A number of the media outlets that have seem to tie this together with the
IAEA confirming that a neutron weapon was used. But the IAEA has nothing on
their site about the incident - https://www.iaea.org/newscenter/news

Everyone in the Middle East (except Saudi Arabia, Syria and Iran) seems to
have the F-16... Israel has their own variant that they've made modifications
to. Does anyone happen to have any pictures of the F-16 allegedly used in
this attack that they can point me to? I'd like to take a look at it.

Navigation doesn't appear to have been a tough thing to get away with, fly
South through Israel, get to the Gulf of Aqaba, down the Red Sea and Yemen is
right there. But, with Jordan and Egypt possessing decent radar... although,
the Israeli F-16 variant is rumoured to have a lower radar visibility cross
section... if it tracked over Saudi Arabia, there'd be a cover-up somewhere.
I'm aware that Brazil's air traffic controllers are military, does anyone
know if Saudi Arabia operates the same way? That could explain that possible
cover-up...

Something else to consider - operational range. Given the max ferry range on
the F-16D Block 52 variant that the latest F-16I is based on is roughly 2450
miles, it could take the water route, but air to air re-fueling might be an
adventure and would certainly provide a larger radar cross section.

None of the main news services appear to have picked it up. I would have
thought that the shit would have hit the fan around the world by now if
Israel had used or supplied a nuclear weapon and allowed it to be used by
another country, or used it on behalf of another country, especially one
which is not on the best of terms with. First of all, they don’t have any
nuclear weapons and secondly, they aren’t exactly the most popular country in
the world... J. I would have imagined that at least harf a dozen countries
would have been going bananas about it and calling for meetings of the UN,
Iran, Russia, China, North Korea, Great Britain, The EC and the all the other
Axis of Evil countries.

There are other websites which have picked up the information from the
veterans...Very strange...Perhaps the whole world is so shocked at such
audacious behaviour by Israel that they have been rendered stoom... in its
third meaning... J. See url: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Stoom

Hi Aftermath,
Apart from a conspiracy theory vets organisation article and a beautiful
explosion and fire on You tube which occurred on May 20th which could have
occurred anywhere. Having just come back from holiday again, I can’t find
anything else on the www about it. Is there a news blackout? Or have I
been inadvertently and unconsciously taking those psychedelic pills again...
